This invention relates to improvements in saws and its object is to provide a saw that can be used both as a cross cut and rip saw. A further object is to provide a san7 of simple construction, positive and elicient in use and chea to manufacture.

With the oregoing and other objects in view the invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter fully described, pointed ont in the appended claim and illustrated in the accompanying drawing which forms a part of this application and in which- Fig. 1 is a plan vievv of the saw. 16 Fig. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary view of the blade. Fig. 3 is an edge view of Fig. 2. Like reference characters denote corresponding parts throughout the several views.

The reference numeral 1 denotesthe blade to which the handle 2 is detachably secured by thescrews 3. The blade is formed along its cutting edge with the teeth 4 which are Z5 spaced apart in the usual manner but are not oifset with relation to each other. The several teeth are alldisposed in a common plane with the blade and are inclined at a degree angle to the handle.

Each tooth is formed With a point 5 and 30 `the free or cutting edge 6 is beveled rear- Wardly or toward the handle to the point 7, alternate teeth having their opposite edges and ends beveled as shown by Figure 3 of the drawing.

A hand saw having a blade provided on f one edge `with a series of evenly spaced teeth, each of said teeth having parallel rear and front edges, said teeth bein par- 40 allel each to the others and incline uniformly toward the handle end of the blade, the front edges of all of the teeth terminating at equal distances fromthe body of the blade and the ends of the teeth being dis- 46 `posed at slightly less than a right angle with respect to the front edges, the end edges and front edges of the teeth being beveled with the bevels of adjacent teeth facing opposite sides of the saw.

In testimon that I claim the foregoing `as myown I ave heretoaflixed my signature.
